Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is the dispersants work like "Dawn" dishwashing liquid. They dissolve the oil so that it mixes with the water and is no longer visible....but it has to go somewhere. I would think the shellfish(oysters) would be especially susceptible to this, as they "filter" the water around them.

Heck yeah. As soon as I heard about the oil gusher, I told Connie to buy up as much seafood as she could and store it in one of our freezers. So that is what we are eating now. Myway Seafood, where Connie works part time, is now getting their shrimp from Fernandina Beach on the east coast, even though the "authorities" are saying the seafood is fine in the Gulf.
